Before you go
Boardwalks and canyon rocks are icy and the canyon edges are unfenced: use a headlamp and stay on the marked path.
Dress for standing still in the cold, bring a head torch with a red light, and park only where parking is allowed. A forecast is guidance, not a promise: check the road and weather warnings for Sweden before a night drive. See our winter safety note.
